By Chris Williams: Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KO’s) says he’s done with fighting Manny Pacquiao and he won’t going down that road again after knocking him out in the 6th round last December. Marquez feels satisfied with his knockout victory, and he feels like he has nothing more to prove after his impressive exclamation point on his four-fight series with Pacquiao.

Marquez said to ESPN “The chapter with Pacquiao is closed. I won. I feel great with the victory…everybody knows what happened in 2011. The belt should be mine.”

It’s hard to disagree with Marquez. He definitely closed the door on Pacquiao with that great win last December. How do you fight a guy again when you’ve knocked him out like that? That’s final when you KO someone like that. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s a fight that really doesn’t make a lot of sense given that Frampton just finished facing and beating Kiko Martinez by a 9th round TKO last February, and now Frampton is facing Orozco, a fighter who was beaten by journeyman Miguel Leonardo Caceres (26-44-7, 7 KO’s).

(Photo credit: Tom Casino/Showtime) By Allan Fox: Unbeaten Adrien Broner (26-0, 22 KO’s) was asked about what his thoughts were about a fight against interim WBC light welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32 KO’s) and Broner claimed it would be an easy fight for him if the fight gets made.

Broner said to thaboxingvoice, “That’s easy money. I’m not worried about no Lucas Matthysse; easy money. He would be tough, but I’d make it look easy.”

It would be an interesting if Golden Boy Promotions were to make that fight, but just by looking at the kinds of guys that Broner’s been facing with them, it doesn’t seem probable that they’d let him fight against Matthysse. Read the rest of this entry »

Broner, 23, thinks the 22-year-old Canelo is too inexperienced to win this fight and he sees that as being a big factor in him losing to the unbeaten Floyd Jr.

Broner said to thaboxingvoice “Floyd’s going to crush that guy. Alvarez just learned how to fight. [Canelo is] very green, very green. At the end of the day he’ll [Mayweather] will be victorious.” Read the rest of this entry »
